Some widows speak of the loneliness of losing their best friend. For some, their spouse was their financial planner and support. For some widows their spouse was their business partner. Some widows speak of missing their spouse as the father of their children and how this adds to their feelings of loneliness as a result of losing their spouse</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://widowspath.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=111:widow-loneliness-the-widows-journey-through-loneliness&catid=42:general-topics&Itemid=203">Whatever the reason, loneliness can be a very painful experience for those who grieve. There is a huge empty space in a widow's life and especially in her heart. The world, both inside and outside, can feel and appear as a huge black hole</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://widowspath.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=111:widow-loneliness-the-widows-journey-through-loneliness&catid=42:general-topics&Itemid=203"><P aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Grief is really about the loss of a sense of self. While all losses can have this impact on the griever, I believe this is particularly difficult for widows because of the relational issues explained above.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E2D6E113-A4E3-465C-BB18-FD613B76147E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
